Reviews

"These publications will be useful to practitioners of all abilities. The Chapters follow a logical sequence from initial considerations before fitting commences to advice on trouble-shooting problems. They are also colour-coded which makes access to information both easy and quick. Once reason why these books succeed is they combine straightforward, pragmatic advice with a comfortable amount of clinical and technical content. They will appeal to all in practice who need to either learn or refresh - so, in a word, everyone." Review on -
